Childhood's End

I lived a life of illusion and you had your kicks

So what, there's nothing left to do

And you and your obsessions and your crucifix

As if what i thought mattered much to you



(chorus)

And you were always my friend from childhood's end

It was forever and ever

Did you understand

It's childhood's end

But never, the dream is over



Sunday morning in the new york times

I read you died last night

It said you were smilin' when you blew your mind

And the note you left behind said:



You were always my friend from childhood's end

Seems like forever and ever

Yeah, you won't have to have to pretend

It's near the end

You won't ever be a rock and roller



Yeah, you were always my friend from childhood's end

But never, the dream is over

You were just like me

I was just like you

For eternity i'll think of you



(repeat choruses, overlapping, fade out)

You've got something about you,

You've got something i need...")
